Topping
Directions
Hazelnut Topping
Melt the coconut oil in a non stick pan on medium heat.
Add the hazelnuts & coconut sugar, gently stir until all ingredients melt.
Let it cool & keep it for later.
Carrot Cake Base
Grate the carrot.
- Add all base ingredients except the finely ground hazelnuts in a food processor.
Pulse a few times & make sure you don’t over blend. We want texture!
- Add the hazelnuts in the dough to absorb any moisture.
Place the carrot dough in a non-stick/ parchment paper layered cake ring. We used a mini cake ring.
Press down to form a layer with thickness around 1,5-2cm.
- Add the remaining hazelnut flour on top and spread evenly.
Cashew Cream Layer
To make the cashew cream add the soaked cashews to a food processor/ blender & blend with the coconut cream, lemon juice, maple syrup & vanilla.
- Blend until smooth.
- Spread the cream over the cake.
Add the caramelised hazelnuts & put in the freezer for 2 hours.
Bring back to room temperature & remove from the cake ring.
Drizzle with delicious melted chocolate & add spring flowers top. Enjoy!
